The Effect of Senzu Beans / Thor's Return

She turned to look at Miyauchi Hiyage, thinking that it was Miyauchi Hiyage who had come to help her complete her request today.

If Miyauchi Hiyage hadn't used his Destiny Power to restrain these Vengeful Spirit and even made that First-Class Grudge her punching bag for sparring, she really wouldn't have been able to complete this request so easily.

I wonder if Miyauchi Hiyage would even consider this thing.

So she coughed lightly and made a gesture of taking something out of her pocket, actually taking out the Senzu Bean reward.

"By the way, I recently traded for a bag of things in the Reverse Side World that have a certain restorative effect, and it is said that just one pill can make you not eat for ten days."

"However, I recently obtained a lot of medicine from the Impression Space with Mashiro and the others. I don't need these things for the time being, so please accept this bag of Senzu Bean as a thank you for your help this time."

Shinomiya Kaguya was worried that Miyauchi Hiyage wouldn't be interested in this thing, so she made another promise, "Of course, this thing isn't very valuable. I'll try to find out the whereabouts of some Special Grade Cursed Tool for you later."

On the other hand, when Miyauchi Hiyage heard Shinomiya Kaguya mention "Senzu Bean," he was still a little confused and didn't know whether it was Shinomiya Kaguya's true sincerity or just a test like in the past.

The Senzu Bean is incredibly famous.

In the Dragon Ball World, besides the Dragon Ball and the method of training in Ki, Senzu Bean are considered to be the best of the best.

If Shinomiya Kaguya really got Senzu Bean, would she be willing to use it to do someone a favor?

He watched as Shinomiya Kaguya casually handed him an ordinary little bag, then quickly and carefully examined Shinomiya Kaguya.

Finally, pretending not to know the effects of this thing, he accepted the small bag and casually looked at the beans inside, which looked like broad Senzu Bean and showed no signs of anything unusual from the outside.

The Eyes of Destiny opens.

Analyze the magic, activate it.

The first time the analysis magic encountered an item that was difficult to analyze was probably because the Senzu Bean contained some special substance from the Dragon Ball World, which exceeded the limits of the analysis magic.

Although it can be analyzed, the immense life force within it, even with the aid of the Eyes of Destiny, can only be seen in its form, not its essence.

Even if you force a projection, it will only project an empty shell that has no effect whatsoever.

Miyauchi Hiyage was not surprised by this result.

If he can project things like Senzu Bean, then he himself can become a perpetual motion machine.

The Mana consumed by projecting Senzu Bean is restored by eating Senzu Bean, and then you can continue projecting Senzu Bean.

The Jewel Sword, too, is said to draw its Mana from infinite parallel universes.

Senzu Bean are a type of substance that restores health in a completely unreasonable way.

When your combat power is a measly 5, a single Senzu Bean can regenerate your severed limbs.

Even if your fighting power has broken through the heavens and you've become a Super Saiyan God, a Senzu Bean can still restore you to your best state in a second after your power is exhausted.

The Senzu Bean's restorative abilities have probably reached the conceptual level, which is why the quantity of these beans had to be limited in the middle of the story. Otherwise, if everyone had a bag of Senzu Bean when a battle started later, the villains would probably fight until their hands were sore and still not get a single kill.

Upon closer inspection, Miyauchi Hiyage could even feel his own body and the Ripple Chi Kung's desire for the bag of Senzu Bean in his hand.

It seems that as long as he eats a Senzu Bean, not only will his Pure Yang Body undergo a transformation thanks to the immense life force, but his Ripple Chi Kung will also achieve a great breakthrough.

Suppressing the throbbing in his heart, Miyauchi Hiyage exhaled and withdrew his gaze.

He looked at Shinomiya Kaguya, who seemed somewhat puzzled, took out five Senzu Bean from his bag, and then returned the remaining Senzu Bean to Shinomiya Kaguya.

"You seem to be very lucky to have gotten your hands on this."

"You may not know the effects of this thing. Although it is a consumable, I can only tell you that it is extremely precious, much more precious than you can imagine. Even I cannot fully analyze its existence and its limits, so you should keep it yourself. Consider the few you take from it as a favor I owe you."

Shinomiya Kaguya and he had a good relationship, and from any perspective, Miyauchi Hiyage could not and was unwilling to take advantage of her.

Regardless of whether Shinomiya Kaguya was testing him, he could not accept this bag of Senzu Bean.

Chapter 298: The Effects of Senzu Bean

Shinomiya Kaguya hadn't initially taken the bag of Senzu Bean seriously, but after seeing Miyauchi Hiyage take the Senzu Bean and examine it, Miyauchi Hiyage's serious demeanor made Shinomiya Kaguya feel that something was amiss.

Later, when Miyauchi Hiyage actually opened his Eyes of Destiny for this small bag of Senzu Bean, Shinomiya Kaguya realized that this bag of Senzu Bean was not as simple as she had thought.

Could it be that her reward this time was actually not bad?

What kind of amazing thing is this Senzu Bean?

It wasn't until the very end, when Miyauchi Hiyage cautiously took out only five Senzu Bean, returned the remaining small bag to her, and said something like "I owe her a favor," that Shinomiya Kaguya finally confirmed this.

"What did you discover with this Senzu Bean?"

Miyauchi Hiyage organized his thoughts and began to describe the Senzu Bean in his own way.

"My eyes actually have a certain analytical ability. The spell tools of the Jujutsu High are analyzed using this ability before they can be projected."

"At this point, simply analyzing them isn't too much of a challenge for me anymore. Even with items related to deities, I can usually tell a thing or two."

After demonstrating his analytical abilities, Miyauchi Hiyage then looked at the small bag in Shinomiya Kaguya's hand.

"But I can only analyze the exterior of this thing. Inside it is a strange power that transcends the Destiny Power, which makes it impossible for me to analyze it."

"I can only tell that this thing contains life force that is unimaginable to ordinary people or even ordinary gods. It can be said that as long as there is still a breath left, this Senzu Bean can directly save the person and repair the damage to their body."

"However, I need to take one now to get a feel for the effects. I'll have to trouble you to keep an eye on things for a while."

As he said this, Miyauchi Hiyage took out several weapons with special effects from Unlimited Blade Works.

Several cursed artifacts, each inflicting damage with curses, fire, and ice, successively caused injuries to Miyauchi Hiyage's arm. Then, the Soul Release Blade, a top- Special Grade Cursed Tool, cut a small piece of flesh from his arm.

Apart from the Soul Release Blade, which targets the soul, the rest are just level one or two cursed tools. If Miyauchi Hiyage were to fully activate the Ripple, with his current life force, it would probably only take a few minutes to heal him.

Therefore, Miyauchi Hiyage deliberately suppressed the power of his Ripple.

This somewhat cruel scene made Shinomiya Kaguya frown slightly.

Then she saw Miyauchi Hiyage throw a Senzu Bean into his mouth and begin to activate it with all his might.

A Ripple that made even Shinomiya Kaguya feel a little uneasy emanated from Miyauchi Hiyage's body, making one wonder if Miyauchi Hiyage could be rated as a Special-Class Superhuman just by the power of the Ripple.

However, this slightly frenzied Ripple only lasted for a few seconds before stopping.

Once everything had calmed down, Shinomiya Kaguya could clearly see that the injuries on Miyauchi Hiyage's body had completely disappeared without leaving a trace.

However, the Miyauchi Hiyage remained with its eyes closed, as if sensing something.

After another minute or two, he opened his eyes again.

"Just as I predicted, that mysterious life force has unimaginable power in 'restoration'. Almost the instant I consumed it, the injuries on my body were healed, and it replenished the Mana and life force I had consumed, restoring me to a perfect state. Afterwards, it even conducted a full-body examination on me. Although, thanks to the health-preserving effects of the Breathing Technique, I didn't have any major hidden injuries in my body to begin with."

"With such restorative abilities, I think even if I were beheaded, I could probably recreate a new body by eating this Senzu Bean before losing consciousness."

Miyauchi Hiyage paused for a moment, then continued to explain, "It's just a pity that this power is limited to 'restoration.' For normal people with no physical damage, its life force will not enhance their vitality or lifespan. It does not have the function of extending lifespan. It will only have a simple effect on 'fullness,' allowing people to not have to worry about food for ten days. This is probably its biggest limitation."

It cannot increase lifespan, which means it cannot stop human aging and natural death; at most, it can only allow people to face the end of their lifespan in a dignified manner.

However, this thing is enough, after all, how many people can live to the theoretical lifespan limit without illness or disaster?

Even if Senzu Bean can only heal internal and external injuries and have no effect on diseases caused by viruses, with the Shinomiya Family's capabilities, once the body's organs are restored, it shouldn't be a problem to let the elderly Shinomiya Family head live for another seven or eight years.

These seven or eight years have been enough for Shinomiya Kaguya to fully mature.

Ignoring the complex emotions in Shinomiya Kaguya's mind, Miyauchi Hiyage continued speaking.

"However, I can sense that although the life energy contained in this thing cannot directly affect life force, it still has a significant promoting effect on Breathing Technique. After all, the purpose of Breathing Technique is to develop the human body's life force as much as possible. If you can eat this Senzu Bean in conjunction with Breathing Technique, you should be able to leave some life force to feed back onto the Ripple generated by Breathing Technique before its remaining effects completely dissipate."

"However, if you haven't already mastered the Breathing Technique, using the Senzu Bean would be a waste of such a treasure. It would be more appropriate to use it as a life-saving tool."

The Miyauchi Hiyage said this is telling the truth.

Senzu Bean don't significantly enhance Ripple Breathing; they only provide a final boost.

At the current pace of these girls, using the Senzu Bean would at most save them a few years of cultivation. Although this is equivalent to dozens or hundreds of Reading Points, it is not much more significant compared to the effect of the Senzu Bean.

It was because his Pure Yang Body and Ripple Chi Kung were already at their peak, and both were just one step away from completion, that he was able to break through the "mortal" constraint by relying on the explosive life force of the Senzu Bean as a stimulus.

Although he may not seem to have changed much from before, he has reached the threshold of becoming an "immortal" in terms of his life level.

Of course, it's not the kind of ascension to immortality found in fantasy novels; it's closer to the "immortals" who have lived for thousands of years in the three holy lands of Hokage.

Shinomiya Kaguya could sense the relaxed tone in Miyauchi Hiyage when he spoke.

It seems that the opponent's Ripple Chi Kung has indeed made a significant breakthrough just now.

After all, the frenzied Ripple just now made even a superhuman with level one telekinesis feel somewhat threatened. She wondered what it would be like if Miyauchi Hiyage were to unleash the Ripple at full power now.

Unfortunately, although her Ripple training has been quite stable, it is still far from the "mastery" described by the You Know Who in the diary.

Realizing the preciousness of Senzu Bean, she naturally couldn't bear to use them on Ripple, which wasn't considered very powerful at the moment.

Ultimately, Ripple Chi Kung is a training method that anyone can practice to develop their physical potential and vitality. Although, according to the You Know Who in his diary, this power was originally created to deal with the so-called "Pillar Men" and Vampires, after the Pillar Men disappeared for thousands of years, this power became more inclined towards self-cultivation and did not focus as much on combat.

Simply put, the health benefits of Ripple Chi Kung outweigh its combat benefits. If you plan to pursue a path of physical martial arts, then practicing Ripple Chi Kung can make your efforts twice as effective.

This is probably why the You Know Who posted the Kusanagi Style taijutsu in his Diary more than a month later, so that people could practice it.

However, Shinomiya Kaguya has now decided that she will be pursuing the path of telekinesis for a long time to come. Although there is a limit to her improvement, a stable level of power is exactly what she needs right now.

Moreover, she could foresee that as long as she could awaken her Persona in the Impression Space, or awaken her Stand power in Morioh in the future, it would definitely play a crucial role in her telekinesis.

Even if she can't reach the Special Grade level in one go, with her own strength and the Senzu Bean she has, she will have more confidence to build her own power in the Reverse Side World.

Although Miyauchi Hiyage took five Senzu Bean at once, Shinomiya Kaguya had no complaints.

If Miyauchi Hiyage hadn't discovered the special nature of these Senzu Bean, she probably wouldn't have considered them any treasures. She would have either given them away casually or kept them gathering dust in the warehouse for a long time, until some special opportunity came along and she remembered them.

Although Miyauchi Hiyage and she were considered friends before, Shinomiya Kaguya could clearly sense that their relationship was not as stable as it seemed to outsiders.

After all, from the very beginning, Shinomiya Kaguya had a purpose in befriending Miyauchi Hiyage, and she had tested Miyauchi Hiyage many times, suspecting that he was the You Know Who.

Moreover, upon closer examination, it becomes clear that Shinomiya Kaguya did not provide any assistance to the Miyauchi Hiyage during Miyauchi Hiyage upbringing.

Her relationship with Miyauchi Hiyage was initially based on the fact that Shiina Mashiro and Honma Meiko were close friends of Miyauchi Hiyage.

Even disregarding the possibility that Miyauchi Hiyage is You Know Who, exchanging five Senzu Bean for the favor of a top-tier powerhouse who can manipulate destiny and has an unlimited future isn't too bad.

If Miyauchi Hiyage is indeed the You Know Who, then exchanging five Senzu Bean for a favor from You Know Who is an absolute steal.

"It seems I'm really lucky to have found such a good thing in the Reverse Side World. It's just a pity that there are only so many Senzu Bean in total, and I probably won't be able to get any more."

Shinomiya Kaguya, who had initially felt unlucky, suddenly felt much more cheerful.

One Senzu Bean can be given to her father, and she can keep a few of the remaining fourteen Senzu Bean for emergencies. Each of the remaining Senzu Bean represents a complete life, so they cannot be used casually.

In a couple of days, I'll go to the Jujutsu High to inquire if there are any powerful Sorcerers who were once very strong but have retired from the front lines due to health issues.

Seeing Shinomiya Kaguya's smile, Miyauchi Hiyage nodded. "Besides using these Senzu Bean to save my life, I also want to try to see if I can extract some useful information. It would be even better if I could find a way to cultivate them."

"However, I think even if a method for cultivating such a thing is found, the yield probably won't be very high."

After explaining for a moment, Miyauchi Hiyage put away the Senzu Bean and then clapped his hands.

"Alright, don't leak the Senzu Bean matter carelessly and arouse the covetousness of those curse masters. Now that things here are resolved, we should go back and check on Katsura Kotonoha's actual combat situation."

He couldn't wait to go back and test his current limits when he went all out.

Compared to Shinomiya Kaguya's side, which has a ranged advantage and can keep the Vengeful Spirit at a distance, Katsura Kotonoha's side is having a much tougher time in the battle.

Although these Vengeful Spirit, under the manipulation of Miyauchi Hiyage, could not truly harm Katsura Kotonoha.

However, similarly, the Breathing Swordsmanship, which fails to draw upon atmospheric Mana, is also ineffective against these low-level Vengeful Spirit.

Although Katsura Kotonoha has been under the tutelage of Miyauchi Hiyage these past few days, and with the added points in her Reading Points, she has been able to slightly draw upon the Mana around her Swords to create a faint sword aura during her regular practice.

However, in actual combat, Katsura Kotonoha, who was not used to it, was unable to perform the standard movements, and even Ripple breathing rhythm would be problematic.

However, Katsura Kotonoha is, after all, a female protagonist, and one who clearly gains multiple kills in her own story.

Although she usually appears gentle, once she gets stuck on something and triggers her hidden yandere side, this woman can unleash unimaginable power.

Therefore, when she saw the slightly messy scene and Katsura Kotonoha panting heavily, Miyauchi Hiyage did not show much surprise.

On the contrary, Katsura Kotonoha felt a little nervous looking at Shinomiya Kaguya, who seemed a bit off.

Katsura Kotonoha transferred schools with her help.

After interacting with the other party a few times, she was actually able to sense some things.

Katsura Kotonoha's persistent attitude towards sword practice, even to the point of secretly spying on Miyauchi Hiyage Katsura Kotonoha's sword practice, reveals that this woman is not as weak as she appears on the outside.

However, looking at Katsura Kotonoha, who seems to have switched on some strange switch, Shinomiya Kaguya doesn't know whether this is good or bad for Katsura Kotonoha.

Chapter 299: Tohru's Return

Katsura Kotonoha's change was naturally a good thing for her.
